    Ok to use a power-strip?

    Is it ok to plug my battery chargers into a power strip so I don't have to have 2 extension cords?
    Thank you!

    As long as the power strip can handle the current draw. Yes.

    I would recommend getting a good heavy duty extension cord with the 3 female plugs.. especially when at a motel !!!

    Get one of these and plug both chargers in. https://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimi...ywords=Power+y

    Wrap the plugs with self fusing tape and use a single cord.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    I found a 50' HEAVY gauge on the closeout rack at Walmart a few years back. It also has a light built into the female end that illuminates when plugged to a good source.
